Abstract

ABSTRACT War-time Jewish hideouts are rare material witnesses of past violence and struggle for survival. Over the years, the issue of hiding appeared in multiple contexts in Holocaust research, but we know very little about their materiality and architecture. The article is an introductory summary of an artistic research project conducted by Natalia Romik and Aleksandra Janus on the materiality of hideouts and the contemporary vernacular memory of them. The article contains descriptions and spatial analysis of three underground hideouts located in Poland and Ukraine and offers an overview of how the vernacular memory of them functions in various local contexts.
